Unlike the old Fords, the NV200 was designed from the ground up
to be the taxi New York needs.

Each cab will be able to fit four passengers and their luggage.

passenger to enjoy the skyline. It will also let them see just
how often the driver cleans his cab.

The stench of cabs past should also be gone. The NV200 has a
carbon roofliner and antimicrobial fabric in the car that is easy
to clean and should neutralize odors.

It also has outlets to make a charging station for the
passengers. Under the hood, there is no thirsty V8, just a fuel
sipping 2.0 four-cylinder engine.

One feature we don't understand is the "low-annoyance" horn.
Isn't a horn supposed to be annoying so it grabs a ton of
attention?

That brings us to how the NV200 looks. Is it good looking? Not
really. But nobody has ever accused the current Fords of being
pretty. Love it or hate it, you better get used to it. The NV200
will be NYC's primary taxi for the next 10 years.

Medallion holders will be required to replace their cabs with the
$27,900 NV200 starting in 2013.
